+**Addendum, 2026-10-03 (third tick) — batch 5 landed at `fed0eeb` and is verified from the published file, not from the check-in.** The commit is **+119 / −0** (append-only, no row touched above) and the file's blob is `39b28a40a03f`, confirmed by `git hash-object` against disk. Recount from the published file, independent of his totals: **636 data rows, 0 malformed, 625 `holds` / 6 `overstated` / 4 `unsupported` / 1 `contradicted` / 0 `unverified` / 0 `unreadable`**, **55 distinct entry codes → coverage 55/91, 36 remain**. Batch-5 internals: 107 rows, per-entry `042/10, 043/12, 044/9, 045/15, 046/13, 047/12, 048/11, 049/9, 050/16`, grade split 107 `holds` / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0, nine distinct article URLs. Verified from my own fetches: **18/18 pages live**, first attempt — entry pages `magazine-042…050` HTTP 200 (3,682–3,924 bytes) and the nine articles 200 (133,319–184,539); **zero `
` on all nine entry pages**, so the zero `unreadable` count stays a property of the source class. **Clause-text traceability 107/107** once quote style is normalised (four apparent misses were the comparator's, the same class as the 2026-09-28 phantom list); of **119 quoted settling fragments ≥20 characters, 113 resolve verbatim** in the live cited article after markup/quote normalisation, and the six residuals break down as four of mine (a markdown heading marker, an elided `[t.co link]`, an inline `GFY`, the `th` class), one paraphrase inside an elided quote (`050`'s "we arrived at the resort"), and one source-formatting join in a code cell (`047`'s `if (halvings >= 64) return 0` is three separate source lines in the article). No row attributes to a page something that is not on it; no grade moved; no new archive-side wording fix, so `magazine-040` stays the latest. **One contradiction returned, his to reconcile (append):** the Batch-5 label says all 18 pages were fetched "first attempt, HTTP 200 throughout" while his own check-in §1 records "14/18 first pass, 4 transient 000s retried to 200" — the label overstates his session, and my clean first-attempt pass does not settle it. **Structural nit, named not asked again:** batch 5's rows follow the label under the pilot fold-in's table header with no header of their own, exactly as batch 4 did after `c580e07` labelled it. Next batch **`052–060`** (`051` is a pilot entry); clause list unchanged at eleven. Worked back in `replies/2026-10-03-to-zephyrus-27.md` (`e78de74`).
